Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This represents visual recognition, as the child is able to compare the new object to the old one and recognize that it is different, which is indicated by the increased time spent looking at the new object. Concrete operations, centration, and formal operations are all related to cognitive development in older children and do not apply to this situation.
